About Mr.. Randall.

ABCUt Mr.. Raudaii'
NrUs YORK. April I5.-The Herald this
morning, editorialIy, says: "The remark
If Mr.. Holman 10 q Herald correspondent
-, devs $50 that Mr.. Carlisle, as the
r-1snectfve speaker Of the next House,
Eli retain Mr.. Randall at the head of the
.rnroDriatiOn committee, has spoiled the
-o1,ner of a good many Democratic tariff
raformers. They VOW in various news
-,-,-rs that Mr. Randall shall 'Climb
Eorrn - to use a western phrase. We in
~.-rcte5 our Washington correspondent
I'm. dsvs ago 10 see as many Carlisle
D.mocratic members Of Congress as could
ta foUud in Washington and ask them TO
c,nrpes themselves upon the situation.
In ranlV to Mr.. Holman, elsewhere we
Tr;n+ this morning several interviews,
end t1 tell the truth, they appear to US
Tarv lame. To Judge from what the
Gentlemen say Ih0Se words we print,
f5ere will be no such opposition to Mr..
Randall as is printed in some quarters.
IN following are the interviews referred
10 above:
RanresentatIve Clifton r. Breckenridge
NJ Arkansas has heard Of the proposition
- remove Mr.. Randall from
the cbairmanship of the approprIa-
ion committee. He knows nothing

Al the holding back by the appropriation
committee of bills intruSted to their keep

mant there was no excuse for delay"
Then v0u 90 nOI know what DISPOSE

.FrankIv, / do not. Depend upon it
hf- Carlisle will do whatever is best
for the party and country; it would be

ne wi do If reelected next winter; it
would be grossly indeliCate to ask him
what he proposes doing"
Colonel MattsOn, chairman of the House
pensions committee said: eyes, l have
heard g good deal said upon the subject
of renewing Mr.. Randall from the chair
mauship Of the appropriations committee.
an told that 3 number Of representa-
tiyes have spoken TO Mr.. Carlisle in re-
gs.J to il and that he will not
reappOint Mr.. Randall. If he does not
agree to this they will support some one
who will I doubt if he has made any
reply, although / don't speak from per
s0nsl knowledge. am only telling you
what have heard. When the time comes
YOU will find these mGlCOntentS so inter
ested in looking out for themselves and
seeing what Chairmanshlps and other
choice positions will be assigned to them
that they will forget all about Randall
until the work Of making up the commit
tees has been made. Randall Is a strong
m8u on the floor of the House, and now that
Col. Morrison Is out Of Congress, Randall
is the only real leader left to US. He is q
man Of vast experience and undOubted
ability. It would not do TO degrade him,
It would be very impOlitiC. Next session
. will pTecede the presidential campaign,
snd what Democrats want IS perfect
harmony. To treat Mr. Randall as one
wing Of our party suggest would hardly
be proper way to bring this about. [
have seen several newspaper articles on
the subject Of g reorganization of the ap-
propositions committee"
Said Mr. Springer of Illinois: GAS q
member Of Congress, end likely to be
reorganized myself, l would hot express

pectile RIGHTS in any legislative body. II
viii be the duty of the speaker when time
i comes to so make up these committees as
/ t0represent the best sentiments of the
party and, as well, promote good Iegisla-
ton"
Representative John Heard of Missouri
said: Il don't think Mr.. RandaIl's course
Is chairman Of the appropriations com
mt.tge in past years has been such sS to
commend itself to the great majority Of
The Democrats of the House. In other
words, without desiring TO say anything
unpleasant concerning Mr.. Randall,
don't think his reappUinJment would be
satisfactory to what is known as the Car
Isle wing of the Democratic party"
